1. Company Profile
Fascinated by the natural imperfections of wood, a creative young entrepreneur from Transylvania founded a Romanian SME in 2017, making wood products from old recycled wood. Romanian SMEs convert recycled wood into various round or rectangular panels for ceremonial and decorative purposes.
The wood used/converted into boards comes from sawmills, old farmhouses, wood chips from farmhouses or old cottages, etc. The old wood is not changed before it is "recycled", the Romanian SME is just going through the cleaning process (making sure that no fungus or other factors affect the wood, for example causing it to rot), and then seal the wood.
Romanian SMEs combine old wood with modern materials (epoxy raisins and pigments) and apply creative processes, such as controlled combustion with (pause) electric current, to showcase modern new-look wooden boards for use in interior design by individuals or companies.
Romanian boards made from recycled old wood are not just a single piece of wood, but tell a story and prove their function, integrating the recycling process with everyday activities. Since old wood has its own natural imperfections, the Romanian company retains most of its natural appearance and therefore offers planks, which have been sold on the internal market to individuals and companies.
In order to expand its business, the small Romanian company is looking for international agents interested in representing old recycled wooden boards from ships under a commercial agency agreement.
2. Advantages and Innovation
This Romanian SME has 4 years of experience in converting recycled wood into products for its customers/partners.
Since each piece of recycled wood retains its characteristics, the Romanian SMEs make a good board product.
In addition to their interior design value and functionality, manufactured by a small team, panels made from recycled old wood have a handcrafted added value.
Romanian plates made from recycled old wood can be used for ceremonial and decorative purposes: most plates are round or rectangular. They are waterproof materials.
